If I could give ten stars, I would!

Motivating those riders on the bubble to continue on. One stands out among all the others. Type I rider - I noticed the monitor on the back of his right arm. I told him he wasn't going to get a buckle, but a finishing metal was a go and he would be back next year. I told him he had to check his numbers again and talk with the medical staff to proceed. He did and five/ten minutes later he remounted and I said: DIG DEEP! AND HE DIG DEEP!

I didn't race every year, but I go back 20 years with Merilee & Ken and continue to support their Leadville Foundation. LT100 got into my DNA. While they have taken a back seat, I'm pleased their successor have expand and continue the LT100 tradition.
